Every EX in this deck look like they could all change the game in some way! I find it very strange that Arceus, Giratina and the 2 other starters dont have an Ex, but i'd assume that will come with a bonus pack like Mythical Island. I'm excited about the decks that can be made from these!
@@aidenhughes6170 while you are correct, it was a part of A1, it being A1-a. So they totally could just release A3, A2-a will probably be a thing to hold people over until the next big expansion. Now that doesn't mean its going to be sinnoh, but I don't see how it wouldn't happen personally.
Immersive Palkia: Trapped in a weird space, where stuff goes all directions and possibly expands infinitely. Immersive Dialga: The cow at the beach meme
I'm planning on running Lucario, Gallade. It may not be 100% consistent, but if I get one of each on the field, I deal 130 damage to any pokemon with 2 energy, and 150 to any with 3.
Reading the name quickly and glossing over its missing an "i". Plus if you hear enough people say it you start to pick up on that as being the "right" name accidentally, without thinking
I'd imagine the power of Fan Rotom being against evolved Pokemon. You can't just drop a Draonite/Charizard/Gyrados/etc... from your hand onto the bench.

In response to your feelings on the booster set, I personally feel we will get a double set (Arceus and Giratina) for this 2nd set. My belief stems from the 3 packs in set 1 and 1 booster set. First set represented the way legends worked in the region a set of 3 and the individual mewtwo. Second set is a based on a region of sets of 2 palkia and dialga, arceus and Giratina. Might be wrong, but if I'm right you heard it here first! Lol
Psychic decks stay broken. So many new good tech options to what was already the most powerful archetype. Yes weavile does amazing into it, but does that matter? Just because it hard loses to one deck type doesn't mean having a positive matchup into 8 others isn't overtuned
Mamoswine might be the meta for water types as it counters other water type and fire type decks, it’s not weak to thunder types, and misty can give its energy immediately. Only down side in evoling it twice, but it’s pretty easy.
Electrode with no retreat cost is one of my favorites to have on the bench. I got an electric deck that I favor (Zapdos EX is god) so I like some of the changes for Volkner and Electribuzz's evolution. You would need 3 turns to set up the dark attack plan. One energy for Spirittomb to retreat (unless you use an item to make it zero), one energy on weavile and then one energy that round to put on Darkrai for that 20 damage
6:26 Regice would still take the damage, since damage is not an effect, if something were to make it deal less damage, or get statused, it would block it, or if damage counters are placed.
all future attacks from Togekiss would be at plus 60, its just that first time. if it keeps attacking, itll keep getting the future bonus. crazy 120 for 2 energy each turn past the first. and that first time u could cynthia to make it 110.
As much as I want to use the new Dark cards from this set, I feel like it’s going to be overshadowed by new Fighting decks now that menaces like Lucario and Rampardos exist.
Eh, I feel like fossils will never be meta. Three-stage mons already struggle because of consistency and fossils are even harder to setup because you can't pull a fossil card from a Pokéball.
How is everyone seeing the entire set before it's out? Also IDK if I'm the only one who wants this but the ability to make more binders and decks and things like that with each new expansion would be great I'm glad steel and dark are getting more cards dark is in desperate need of a good ex card
Don't worry man, I have only one crown Mewtwo out of 2.5k + cards😅..... Some of it comes down to us having some bad luck, but I've been seeing a lot of people saying the same things..... Like, having the premium pass is pretty much a waste, you're getting one free pack a day, but 90 percent of the time you're getting doo doo cards.... Guess it depends on the person if you think that's worth it or not
@GumCow totally agree.....I bought the premium pass when the game first came out, but got discouraged after a few weeks of pulling crap literally 90 percent of the time, just to chase that 5 percent....so I cancelled the pass
5:21 I would like to point out that Infernape specifies ALL fire energy, so you can't play it like Charizard and load it up with Fire energy from Moltres Edit: and I wait five seconds where he says the same exact thing... Oops
@@RyanDutchess Dialga: watching a lake while the day goes by Palkia: has a full body zoom in and out as the dimension around him is warping and twisting. Yea, palkia is better by a land slide and they did not do dialga justice
Ngl, this video just made me realize that I've been pronouncing Dusknoir wrong my whole life. Like, I know the French word "Noir," but for some reason, my brain would always read Dusknoir and go "Dusk-nore."
I just got the prompt to update this am for me, I’m in Berlin, I wasn’t upset about it because I don’t know anyone else that plays lol nobody to trade with
sorry if this was mentioned in the video, but since this is a new full pack, will we be losing access to Genetic Apex and/or Mythical Island? Still tryna round out a few cards in my collection.
If you feel bad for the Pokémon being called hot garbage, remember that there are some that Austin didn't even mention, like Wormadam (Steel) or Bibarel 😂
I don't know if this is a glitch or not but I tried a Moltres Celebi combo. I tried using Moltres to quickly beef up my Celebi but when I used its power, nothing happened. I couldn't flip coins to get fire energy.
@suicune2001 Np, we all misread or forget certain parts of cards. If it makes you feel better I run Pikachu but early on I tried making a combo electric and some other type deck, but quickly realized I ignored the fact Pikachu only gets stronger with electric pokemon.

@@SpudBLT I don’t think so, mythical island was it’s own update not a part of genetic apex I’m certain.

man
On Lucario: Every other passive bench effect has specifically said that it doesn't stack, if it doesn't stack, so I would assume this one does.
Yep it stacks, fighting mons gonna be HUGE this meta.
I'm planning on running Lucario, Gallade. It may not be 100% consistent, but if I get one of each on the field, I deal 130 damage to any pokemon with 2 energy, and 150 to any with 3.
which also means lucario buffs itself
What card combos do YOU think are going to be good?
Garchomp and Cynthia?
i cant wait to use bastiodon with rocky helmet
Dialga with colorless Pokémon
Melmetall, dialga and scarmory
I think Weavile and Darkrai are gonna do a lot for Dark Types
Why is everyone calling Mesprit "Mespirit"? Austin's not the first one I hear this from.
Reading is hard i guess
Reading the name quickly and glossing over its missing an "i". Plus if you hear enough people say it you start to pick up on that as being the "right" name accidentally, without thinking
Let me guess, Xatumi?
@@pearcyjackson280 not really, spragels Pocket, actually
I hear this in person also. When I point this out, I get the look like I'm the one who's saying it wrong
Interactive dialga reminds me of that one image with the horse looking at the water & all it says is MAN
I'd imagine the power of Fan Rotom being against evolved Pokemon. You can't just drop a Draonite/Charizard/Gyrados/etc... from your hand onto the bench.
so its a basic Aerodactyl
The random flash of Alanah Pierce killed me lolol

She didn't it was Kallie Plagge, who also did the Stardew Valley and Undertale reviews at IGN
Actual Austin: Welcome to the video essay!!
What I heard: Welcome to the video, ese!!
😂😂
Giratina has use as a wall that is splashable in any deck. It has a lot of HP and only needs 1 of any energy to freely retreat.
You - what's it's name?..
Me, quietly, whispering - mothim. Mothim. You've got this.
You - mothim, that's it's name.
YOU'RE WELCOME
Coin flip RNG haters in shambles with this set

Good to see you Editing Austin. Glad he let you back in.
I don’t care that it has four energy retreat cost, I NEED that rainbow border Lickilicky

Yes weavile does amazing into it, but does that matter? Just because it hard loses to one deck type doesn't mean having a positive matchup into 8 others isn't overtuned
1:45 Rose-Lia killed me😂
I think you meant to shade Kallie Plagge in the joke about a lot of water. You got a picture of Alanah Pearce though...
Mamoswine might be the meta for water types as it counters other water type and fire type decks, it’s not weak to thunder types, and misty can give its energy immediately. Only down side in evoling it twice, but it’s pretty easy.
16:11 Something funky I noticed about mightyena is that’s it’s weak to grass instead of fighting? Still not useful, but neat I guess
So cool that the legendaries are in the distortion world in their artwork
Theres lots of really good combo possibilities here
Electrode with no retreat cost is one of my favorites to have on the bench. I got an electric deck that I favor (Zapdos EX is god) so I like some of the changes for Volkner and Electribuzz's evolution.
You would need 3 turns to set up the dark attack plan. One energy for Spirittomb to retreat (unless you use an item to make it zero), one energy on weavile and then one energy that round to put on Darkrai for that 20 damage
Did anyone glance at Dawn's 2* for the first time and think 'dang she busty' but then it's her scarf making the illusion?
If you have dusknoir on the bench and an active you dont want knocked out use his ability. Almost s reverse gardevire of sorts
The thumbnail already makes me excited to finally get Darkrai ex
Fighting decks are about to be very strong. Marshadow/Lucario/GA Primeape has some strong potential.
6:26 Regice would still take the damage, since damage is not an effect, if something were to make it deal less damage, or get statused, it would block it, or if damage counters are placed.
Yep, tested this
all future attacks from Togekiss would be at plus 60, its just that first time. if it keeps attacking, itll keep getting the future bonus. crazy 120 for 2 energy each turn past the first. and that first time u could cynthia to make it 110.
The interactive palkia and dialga are a different version of the origin vstar cards from the tcg
Excited for the trade video later!
this may be interesting but running greninja and weavile might be interesting
Gallade Ex could be a decent counter against Celebi Ex/Serperior combos
Dark decks are gonna be my new fav.
Thanks for taking the time to make such detailed and useful videos! Keep at it homie
As much as I want to use the new Dark cards from this set, I feel like it’s going to be overshadowed by new Fighting decks now that menaces like Lucario and Rampardos exist.
1:42 Means you can use Erika too
I wish there was a way to see what the other person needed or wanted. Instead of choosing a random card hoping the other person wants it
Calling it right now. The subset will be arceus and have hisuian Pokémon
the days of pulling new cards are back🔥🔥
Whole Togepi line only having 1 retreat cost is cool
I really like the look of this set. Lots of great artwork.
So many cards in these sets have 4 retreat cost. Thats kind of crazy
Have an A1 day Austin
Combee and celebi could be a nice combo
Cyrus with a greninja would be really good too
the next set is going to have two packs with Arcues EX and Giratina EX as the cover pokemon. CALLING IT NOW
16:15, ekhm, Weezing posion for 0 energy. Or even Tentacruel for same energy, have 10 more HP, and water have superior energy acceleration.
24:35 much better than trash Red Card. I miss when people were really running that. Most of the time it helped me get what I needed faster lol
Tools say they are trainer cards which means they should be once per turn
NOT A DARKRAI DECK I WASNT READY
Make sure to update your app, people.
Rampardos looks OP. 130 damage for one energy is insane.
Eh, I feel like fossils will never be meta. Three-stage mons already struggle because of consistency and fossils are even harder to setup because you can't pull a fossil card from a Pokéball.

I have 1,500+ cards and don't have a single immersive or gold card. Anyone else able to relate?
2110 and no crown. I do have some immersives thankfully, still missing a couple.

Yep, almost 1800 cards with no immersives or gold and still haven't completed Mew.
Waiting on Espeon and Umbreon. You know they're coming.
It seems like all the Pokemon Pocket RUclipsrs don’t understand that there is no such thing as a stage 3 pokemon.
It’s Basic -> Stage 1 -> Stage 2.
Unfortunately Froslass is absent. Will likely be in the Miniset I suppose.
Can’t believe bro is in New Zealand again
5:21 I would like to point out that Infernape specifies ALL fire energy, so you can't play it like Charizard and load it up with Fire energy from Moltres
Edit: and I wait five seconds where he says the same exact thing... Oops
Exited for the new set…incredibly let down by the trade system
Bastiodon + skarmory + tools are my bet.
Dopeeeee. Now lets talk about trading LOLOL
They did not do dialga immersive art justice compared to palkia
Do we have a video yet? In a still it might not be impressive but I’m betting we see a sweet time-lapse.
@BaltanTwo it is on RUclips already and it is absolutely stunning and so much better than palkia
@@RyanDutchess
Dialga: watching a lake while the day goes by
Palkia: has a full body zoom in and out as the dimension around him is warping and twisting.
Yea, palkia is better by a land slide and they did not do dialga justice
There's no way empoleon and torterra get nothing while hippopottas gets a 1 star
I could see arceus pack coming because mew is a mythical and so is arceus but giratina is a legendary
Yknow I wanted gen 2 but gen 4 has my nostalgia by the throat
Ngl, this video just made me realize that I've been pronouncing Dusknoir wrong my whole life. Like, I know the French word "Noir," but for some reason, my brain would always read Dusknoir and go "Dusk-nore."

This is fun and all, but with a 3-Point win system with only having 20 cards per deck REALLY limits your potential to outplay your opponent
I wanted to see the alt art cards in full detail…
Hippowdon is Hippowdon 😂
When yiubgitta wonder if you can't remember their names or there are too many
8:36 Alanah jumpscare
How, it says not available until tonight
Glad to hear trading is working for some. Unfortunately, I still get a screen of “coming soon”. Womp Womp
i had to update it at the app store
That Bidoof is too weak. Not accurate.
that wormadam card @ 3:25 is giving very big buzzwole vibes
My guess is the expansion might have to do with hisui
I think you meant that the the new mini expansion is GIRATINED to be Giratina.
I still would have preferred the Johto pokemon to be introduced before Sinnoh.
You’d retreat torterra using cyrus i guess
I'm surprised that there's already a draw engine in the game now, it sucks that it's a stage 2 though.
So if i use rotom fan and they dont have bench pokemon do i just win ?
I think that the rotor forks such as fan rotom should evolve from normal rotom
Rotom forms
first ex dragon will probably be giratina
sorry if this was mentioned in the video, but since this is a new full pack, will we be losing access to Genetic Apex and/or Mythical Island? Still tryna round out a few cards in my collection.
No, old sets will remain accessible, also they will be giving out a pack from each apex art with guaranteed 4 stars in them
@@RyanDutchess ...you mean 4 diamonds?
no packs will ever be removed, you have to go to "select other packs" to see them
